I ask because of these two lines in the article. Plus I thought the desert is supposed to preserve things.A city appraisal values the streetcars at $6,000 each for museum use. It estimates that it would cost twice as much to restore a classic streetcar as it would to purchase a replica – $2.2 million rather than $1.2 million. |

Being fluent in several languages increases your ability to communicate in any of them. |

I'd love to be fluent in multiple languages, but no one wants them. Federal government is looking for a couple dozen spanish speakers for it's call center.Greeks need not apply I guess. |

In Berkeley w/ a significant foreign student contingent and tourists, foreign fluency can make the sale in retail shopping. Far more critical is medicine. A doctor friend who works in Vancouver is slowly working to add Mandarin to his palette (has Spanish, French, German, some Russian). Makes him very useful in the ER I only have French and some Spanish, the latter highly useful in CA.That said, for your own brain, there are studies showing bilingual persons resist Alzheimers longer than monolinguals. |
